Who are the morally pure and perfect democrats incapable of ever being subject to a similar smear campaign? Or is the assumption that we will all simply fall back into the old rules if and when they take the reins again?

Seriously, do these people ever think to look beyond the moment on what they are doing?

Naw but they have a media that would never report it. Just look at Keith Ellison.

Jesus Christ Himself would be smeared for hanging around a whore like Mary Magdalene.

Cory Booker is a self admitted molestor. Wrote an article about it. No vague years, scant facts or lack or corroborating witnesses. By their new standard, he should go. But somehow “it’s different” because he raised the issue,

Standards are only for Republicans. Democrats are unencumbered.

Said this earlier, but I'll say it again, there's no way Beto meets this standard. He was in a punk band and used drugs. He'd probably just answer he has no recollection- the Hillary standard.

The Left has long excused Clinton's sexual activities while in office, in fact you were a Puritan prude to have an issue with it. Then when it became politically convenient Trump was suddenly unfit due to an affair prior to running for office. The Left spent all of 2008 calling John McCain a hateful racist bigot. When it became politically convenient, he became a man to be admired again. They don't need to have a memory. No one with a voice is going to hold them accountable. The mass is a fickle amnesiac, swayed only by the cries of today

HRC will be in the mix. Bookmark me. It will be interesting to make wagers on how long she can remain upright at her own rallies.

They don't need them because: a) the media will never go after their nominees for this sort of thing; and, b) the GOP would never manufacture accusers like the Dems do.

Didn’t Beto get arrested for burglary? Fitting that a thief wants to work in Washington.

I doubt it. The vast majority of libs and even leftists I know can’t stand her. The further left an idiot is the more they hate her, and those are the most vocal of the trash, because of what she did to Bernie so no way she becomes a leader.

Conservatives spent eight years smearing Obama because he was black. So the answer is no.
